It’s a keyboard that uses strings of tapes for each note. It pulls the tape over a head and plays that note until the tape runs out. When you’re playing fast, sometimes the tape isn’t all the way down, so it makes everything sound super custom.
Think Strawberry Fields by the Beatles. That’s a Mellotron you’re hearing.

I found this on it. I find the last sentence comical:
“Called the Cat-Mew, it was designed to scare little rodents away from your premises, by letting out a meow ten times a minute. If you were in a home that didn’t allow pets, then it would seem like the perfect solution without laying down poison. If it even worked. Which it probably didn’t. Hence why it’s not around today.”
I can’t find any videos of it, but I did find one very strange video that has that picture in it. I’d really like to know how this works and what it sounds like.
I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....
I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don’t recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn’t cut it, either....
I just about lost my mind earlier out of frustration for this. I love listening to rap/hip hop and the algorithm makes multiple mixes with the exact same songs every time.
I just typed in “underground” in search and found so much good shit. Not even all rap. There’s all sorts of great music I have never heard!
Definitely don't call him Brother Gutenberg. (lemmy.world)
Which carbonated soft drink is the best?
The age old question. Coke? Pepsi? Store brand? Any other?...

What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?
I hate peaking under the stalls or knocking doors to figure it out. The answer is so simple.
